Completed five years ago, the nearly 7,200-square-foot contemporary farmhouse was a project of former talent manager and high-end remodeler Sandy Gallin. The Birnbaums bought the house from him in 2007 for $16.5 million.

The four-bedroom, five-bathroom house sits behind gates on close to a half acre with a swimming pool and gardens. The two-story living room has sliding-glass doors that open to a veranda. The master bedroom features a sitting room, gym and terrace with city views.

Birnbaum and Gary Barber co-founded the film production company Spyglass Entertainment in 1998 and are co-chief executives. They became chief executives of a bankrupt MGM more than a year ago.

Stephen Shapiro and Jon Bronson of Westside Estate Agency are the listing agents.
